That seems like too many mainstage bands for Friday if Silversun Pickups are on Friday. Pretty Lights, Girl Talk, Santigold and Of Monsters and Men are already on there. That's all they had last year and I would imagine Girl Talk gets a longer set than DFA and Santigold gets a longer set than Bob or the Bronx.

Maybe some people here can help me...Are the Helio Sequence good? I can't seem to make up my mind, some songs are good others are ehh.

This is exactly what happens every single time I listen to their albums. I get REALLY into a few of the songs, and then the rest do absolutely nothing for me. I think the good ones are enough to get me to their set, though.

I like Helio Sequence, and they put on a pretty good show. they play as a two-piece, which leaves me wondering how much of what I'm hearing is a backing track being played off a laptop, but when they're rocking it I don't care. bottom line, they're good but not unmissable, and with the wealth of amazing music at this sasquatch there's a good chance I'll be elsewhere.

Here We Go Magic has shot up to the top of my bands-I-never-listened-to-before-the-lineup-came-out-but-now-want-to-see list (it's getting long this year). their recordings are super trippy, but never seen them live.anybody else on here seen them?
